MintLeaf

Five members of my family went there late on a Monday night. The staff was very welcoming despite us showing up just an hour before closing time and the room was wonderfully quite. I had been to Chez Panisse Cafe 5 days before, and I preferred the dishes at Mint Leaf, although that's an apples and oranges comparison. My/our favorites at Mint Leaf were eggplant&tofu clay pot, green papaya salad with prawns, and if you eat mammal, sizzling shaking beef. I thought their beef combo phô, was good but not as exceptional as the previous dishes. They were very attentive & accommodating to the gluten intolerant member of our party

All the dishes are so full of flavor and every ingredient is intentional! I ordered a pot of delicious tea, a bowl of veggie broth and the tofu salad. They have a nice spot for the dining area

Love the rolls, many options to pick from which is always great. My two recommendations would be the fried avocado (the avocado is fried then wrapped in the roll) and the tofu one. You can ask for more sauce, if you’re going to spilt it I definitely recommend getting another sauce. Always quiet when I come in, the seating is spread out and the ceiling is high. The windows are big and let in a lot of light. For saving them for the next day, place the rolls in a container that is sealed tightly so the moisture from the rice paper doesn’t dry out. Eat the day after since they can dry out fast. If they do end up drying out then I have one tip, damp paper towel over it and microwave for 30 seconds (depends on microwave strength). Not what I’d prefer to do but it usually makes the wrapper softer (does shrink it a tiny bit).

My girls and I had lunch and everything was good. I searched Google for the closest restaurant near the Berkeley Marina and took a chance at stopping in for the first time. Service was great, food was prepared and served quickly. My daughters know how I feel about a dirty bathroom when eating out. When I say the restroom was clean and smelled fresh. I knew I would enjoy the food. We will be back again

I've gone back to Mint Leaf multiple times and it never ceases to impress. The food is delicious and fairly priced, the service is fast and the atmosphere is very calm and pleasant. Highly recommend.

Food and service are impeccable as is the food. Had shrimp and scallops over garlic noodles. Barely could finish my plate. The best!!

Eggplant tofu is pretty good here, nice and caramelized in that clay pot. The cheesecake stuffed dessert roll thing was so nice too. If I were to go here again it would be for that!

Decent Vietnamese food. Service is good. They have a patio so you can bring your doggo. Fresh juice available too!

I think the bahn mi may be over priced at 10 dollars. But the pho I had for the same was really amazing. Usually veggies pho is broccoli, letteuce, carrots and mung bean sprouts. There pho not only had a very light tasty broth that I didn't need to doctor up with condiments. But broccoli, lettuce, carrots, baby corn, green bean, friend onions and usual basil and bean sprouts. However they true stand out for me where these amazing chewy somewhat smoky mushrooms. That together with fried tofu and I was one happy camper. The decore is super clean and modern, with really nice bathrooms, and semi open kitchen.

This is one of my favorite local pho places but they offer a lot more in the menu. Spacious space in west Berkeley, good food, clean, quick and friendly service, never crowded. I like the chicken pho with grilled chicken that comes on the side. You can also add veggies for a bit extra. Not a traditional pho but it is yummy. They also have a juice bar.

Fresh dishes there's a guy who works in the evening who is so welcoming you feel at home

First time here, I had the No. 46 "Sizzling Shaking Beef" and Coconut rice, the Banh Mi Combo after we had No. 2 Crispy Vegetarian Rolls. The food was served quickly and the Beef still "Sizzling" on the Fajita Skillet! All delicious!

this restaurant sent me an order 85% rice vermicelli noodles, a hand-full of undressed salad with the cheapest beef imaginable-very sweet simple marinade and one small roll. I ate the roll and salad and gave the beef to my dogs and threw away the vermicelli. If this is the best the Bay Area can do and take out this is got awful

I always want this place to be better, because I live nearby, but it's always just OK. They have a well stocked juice bar, and the juices are pretty good, though $10, so I haven't gotten one in a while. I come back once or twice a year because it's in the neighborhood, and it stays okay. But slightly more expensive now.

Shaking cube beef steak. Some meat was rubbery and a little bit of spoiled taste. Totally unacceptable to serve. I can’t even eat the rest. Wasted my money.
